The Soldier Who Was Mocked by Unemployed Nazi Gerald Platner Speaks

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Let me ask veterans here: If you collect full 100% disability from the military, are you able to also work? Because Platner claims to be an "oyster farmer" but also receives full 100% "disability." It seems to me he's that either:

1, he can work, but is bilking the system, because he's another Bernie Sanders laybout who refuses to work and exists perpetually on welfare;

or,

2, he actually can't work, but pretends to be an "oyster farmer" because that sounds like he might actually do some rough-handed work and wants to hide the fact that he's a layabout like his hero Bernie Sanders.

Any ideas? How can he be both so incapable of labor that he's on 100% full disability while also being an "oyster farmer"?

Which is it-- is he a Workin' Man or a Welfare Case? It can't be both, can it?

Update:

Ace, I'm a disabled Vet,yes you can draw 100% and still work.

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice

I know lots of 100% disabled vets who work. Lots of them work for federal, state, and local governments.

I guess "disability" here doesn't have the meaning one might assume it does.

Okay, I guess I should have figured he wouldn't commit benefits fraud right out in the open.

But I've also read he declares no income from his "job" as an "oyster farmer." I think it's his wife's business, and he does not declare income from it on his income tax forms.

Update: From commenters, I think I can guess how this works: You get a percentage "disability" from various wounds you take while in service. This number is not dependent on whether you are or are not actually disabled. It's just a tally of woundings, and you're paid a stipend for life based on that, and it's called "disability" but isn't what your average man on the street would call "disability."

Is that right?

Next item: You may remember that the Nazi Communist Gerald Platner mocked a US soldier who had been shot by a terrorist. Platner laughed about the shooting of an American soldier, critiqued the soldier's abilities, declared that he was incompetent, and said further that he "didn't deserve to live."

That soldier now reveals himself in the WSJ:

1hArmy combat veteran and a Purple Heart recipient Teddy Daniels in the Wall Street Journal: I'm the Soldier Graham Platner Mocked

"Flannel shirt and all, Graham Platner is Tim Walz on steroids. An entitled brat who campaigns with socialist Bernie Sanders. A real man by the lights of the Democratic Party, he presents himself as "relatable" to working-class Americans, but in reality he's a typical elitist who believes blue-collar, hardworking, salt-of-the-earth rural Americans are stupid and racist. I couldn't care less about the comments he made about me, but they are a reflection of his character. I never thought I'd see the day when Democrats would even consider backing a candidate like this."

https://wsj.com/opinion/im-the

28 Don't forget, Platner also mocked Chris Kyle.

Posted by: Bulg

Oh I did forget that. He claimed Kyle was murdering civilians to pad his kill-count.

Update: Some say the scam isn't the disability -- it's the claim of being an "oyster farmer."

Oyster farming is not really "work," it is - as far as I can tell - either a hobby for eccentrics or a grift. I knew an oyster farmer and it seem you have to get a plot from the state - something like an allotment in UK, where you sign up and wait on a list and then pay a small fee, but then you contract out the actual, you know, farming - the digging and shit.

The Nazi Public Masturbator Who Is Sexually Aroused by the Smell of Male Feces has been attacking Susan Collins for sending him off to war. She voted for the Iraq War, he says, which resulted in this non-working Nazi being shipped off to fight in a war he never signed up for.

Of course, the Nazi Korprophiliac is lying. Collins did vote to authorize military action in Iraq, but Platner signed up for the military two years into the Iraq War, which means his claims of having been sent there against his will by Susan Collins are just more Nazi shit-aroused propaganda.

In new news, Collins points out that not only did he sign up knowing he'd be going straight to war, but additionally, he then signed up to be a mercenary in Blackwater after he was discharged by the US Military.

Now I'm using the word "mercenary" as the left uses it. I have never thought there was anything wrong with military men signing up to make a large salary doing what they had just been doing for Uncle Sam for a small salary. To me it's like giving up your amateur status in golf to accept a prize (which only declared pros can receive).

But that's the way the left sees it-- if you're a private military contractor, you're a "mercenary." And "screw them, I feel nothing," as Platner's no-doubt supporter DailyKos said of four murdered contractors.

This once again proves this Nazi feces-fanatic is lying about Collins "sending him to war." He was a private citizen with no further military obligations when he signed a private contract with a private military contracting firm. Did Susan Collins force this Nazi scum to take a signing bonus and nice salary?

No One Believes Jill Biden's "Gaslighting" Campaign -- Especially Not the Leftwing Media Operatives and Democrats Who Conspired to Cover This Up, and Now Have Pretend They Were "Fooled" by a Conspiracy They Were Always Part of

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The Bee:

Trump has Questions about "Doctor" Jill Biden's new op:

Fox News @FoxNews

2h

JUST IN: President Trump launches a scathing attack on Jill Biden after she admitted that she thought her husband was having a "stroke" during their infamous 2024 presidential debate.

"She said that she thought he was having a 'stroke,' and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do."

"As many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate cause him to, plain and simple, 'choke,' leading to his ignominious defeat, or were there other reasons? Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!"

Leftwing CNN reporter: Jill Biden's story is "revisionist history," Democrat sources tell me she's lying and "gaslighting" the American voters now just as she did back then.

Dasha Burns @DashaBurns

May 28

A former senior Biden campaign advisor tells me Jill Biden's comments are "revisionist history."

"She and a handful of other close advisors around President Biden kept gaslighting us, telling those of us on the campaign we were the ones who were wrong, and that he just had a 'bad night.' I think she saw the reputational harm this caused her and is therefore taking a new position."

@playbookdc

Politico's Alex Thompson, who had some low level of credibility on this for at least permitting the question of Biden's mental fitness, before throwing it away to co-write his book "exposing" this with Dementia Denier Jake the Fake Tapper:

Alex Thompson @AlexThomp

One former Biden official reacts to this with just: "she's lying."

Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze

What Alex is admitting here is that a former Biden official knew Biden was senile, but did not say it at the time, and is now calling Jill Biden "bullshit" for saying it now.

Alex, do you see how much this reflects badly on you for protecting this person so you could sell books?

First Democrats (including Democrat Comms Media) covered up Biden's senility. Then they covered up the cover up by demanding the story go away and no one search for accountability except from the Five Designated Fall-Guys, Biden, "Doctor" Jill, and his three most senior co-conspirators.

Democrats are angry that "Doctor" Jill is ruining their cover-up of the cover-up:

The media is pretending it's shocked and outraged about being "tricked" into repeating the Bidens' lies to the public every week for four years -- but will a single media interviewer ask "Doctor" Jill hard questions about why she didn't immediately drive Joe to the hospital if she had "never, ever" seen this behavior "before or since" and was "frightened" that he was "having a stroke" on stage?

In fact she immediately whisked the Shambling Withered Husk off to a post-debate rally and paraded his Grim Mockery of Human Life before a crowd of horrified spectators, telling him "Joe, you did great! You answered every question, you knew all the facts!"

If the media really want to prove they're not in on the con, they'll confront her.

It's not even necessary that they get her to agree to an interview. They can just send a question to her and her PR people asking them why she left Biden on stage to die of a stroke, and report her refusal to answer the question.

But.

They.

Will.

Not.

Because "journalists" have the same interest that the Democrat Party does -- they want to smother this fire, not add oxygen to it, to grant political cover and advantage to (you'll never guess!) the Democrat Party they all vote for and belong to and scheme behind-the-scenes with.

They were on it. Period. They supported the now-acknowledged lie for as long as was physically possible and then acted shocked and offended when the lie was exposed.

They will just continue passive-aggressively shunning the Bidens, hoping they will take the hint and stop embarrasing them by exposing their own complicity in the Cheapfake Op on the American public.

Seattle's Communist Woke Wallflower Mayor Says She Refuses to Investigate Medicaid Fraud In Her City Because That Would Hurt Our Precioius Nomadic Pirates

—Disinformation Expert Ace

The Post-Millennial:

Seattle socialist mayor will NOT investigate fraud at Somali-run daycare centers, calls it attack on immigrants

"This whole issue is not really about fraud," said Wilson. "It's about dividing and conquering. It's about making an immigrant community a target."

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said the city has no intention of investigating fraud claims in taxpayer-funded social programs, claiming the concerns are an effort to target immigrant communities rather than address legitimate financial irregularities.

In an interview with KOMO News, Wilson was asked if she had authorized the Seattle Police Department or the city's Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs to investigate fraud charges involving daycare providers, particularly those in Somali and other immigrant communities. The mayor responded: "No."

"This whole issue is not really about fraud," said Wilson. "It's about dividing and conquering. It's about making an immigrant community a target. There's no reason to assume based on the identity of a daycare operator that their small business is doing anything wrong."

She added that "it's problematic to have random people showing up to daycares" and emphasized that "the fear in the Somali community is real" and "the fear in immigrant communities are real," saying her administration is "taking that very seriously."

Huh, how about that. She's saying it's the Somalis who would be found responsible for defrauding the Americans living next to them and stealing from them.

And then she applies the usual Democrat Rule that Minorities Are Immune from the Law and Allowed to Steal and Kill without Consequence.

#BecauseRacism.

Plus, an exclusive from Alpha News: Somalis are fake employees at fake businesses claiming fake injuries to, get this, pillage and loot from actual American taxpayers.

EXCLUSIVE: Former Minnesota employee reveals suspected fraud scheme of 'fake injuries' at Somali businesses

With the benefit of hindsight, Janeen Balsimo thought, "wow, so the fraud went as far as the employee was a fake employee, probably with fake injuries, because there is no people at these places."

ByDr. JC Chaix and Liz Collin

It's perhaps yet another kind of Somali fraud that we haven't heard much about, and one that may involve fake businesses, fake injuries, and fake workers' comp claims.

Janeen Balsimo retired in the fall after working as a Minnesota state employee for nearly 30 years. She joined Liz Collin on her podcast.

Balsimo spent her last years at the Department of Human Services (DHS) in the Tort Recovery Unit as a tort specialist.

She said that she wanted to blow the whistle on workers' comp cases after what she noticed the last couple of years at her job--as hindsight and the exposure of fraud throughout Minnesota provided even more perspective.

Balsimo explained how she "recovered taxpayer dollars where another party should have been paying for the bills. For instance, like auto accidents or work comp. So we would get cases from attorneys representing the client."

"And then when the case would settle, we would get paid, the attorney would get paid his fees. DHS would get paid our portion. And then the client would be awarded whatever type of injury that they had back, usually got more awards than neck or arm. So they would get anywhere from $20,000 to $150,000 for their award for their injuries," Balsimo explained.

However, she noticed a strange trend emerging in her normally routine work. "About a year ago, I can remember my caseloads of Somalian cases were going way up. They were going up so much I even confided in another coworker. She had noticed it as well," Balsimo said.

She said "that's when I noticed my Somali cases, they all worked at a daycare center, an adult care center, a hospice or an autism center. And I found that really strange and they ended in the LLC because I had to keep typing it over and over and it was just really strange to me."

"Then I retired a few weeks before the Nick Shirley exposure ... and one day I was watching a video and I noticed the names of the businesses he was investigating. And they looked really familiar. Like I almost remember the name of the businesses just by typing them all the time and just dealing with them. And I could not believe it ... it all came together, Balsimo said.

"I went, oh my gosh, this was like a wow moment. These cases were probably fraudulent," she added.

Tennessee’s GOP State Government is Subsidizing the Relocation of Cultural Adversary Starbucks; How Did TN Leaders Promise $30M that Hadn’t Yet Been Approved in a Public Forum?

—Buck Throckmorton

I dislike corporate welfare in general. I passionately dislike corporate welfare for corporations fleeing anti-business blue states, because the economic freedom in the states they flee to is their financial incentive. But a red state offering corporate welfare to a woke corporation fleeing the nest it soiled absolutely enrages me.

Starbucks is relocating a significant portion of its operations from the communist carnival of Seattle to the state of Tennessee, which is paying Starbucks to bring its radical political agenda and employees to the conservative state. Thanks to Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee State Funding Board, $30 million dollars is being redistributed from Tennessee taxpayers to the left-wing coffee purveyor. Unlike some corporate welfare, this isn’t even comprised of tax incentives. It is an 8-figure cash payment from the state to a corporation whose executives have shown nothing but spitting contempt for the values of the state it is relocating to.

“TN State Funding Board approves $30 million incentive for Starbucks” [The Tennessean – 5/21/2026]

Tennessee’s State Funding Board approved the $30 million payout during a meeting on May 20. State incentives would cover an average of $15,000 per job created.

I know plenty of Tennessee small business owners who could hire more actual Tennesseans if the first $15,000 of salary was subsidized by the state. How obscene is it that a small manufacturing plant in Murfreesboro, staffed by patriotic Christians, doesn’t get a dime in assistance when it expands and hires more employees, but a corporation like Starbucks that is openly contemptuous of Tennessee’s conservative values is getting paid to colonize the state with its woke agenda?

During the announcement, Gov. Bill Lee touted the state’s “fiscally conservative approach to business.”

If taking money from taxpayers and giving it to an activist left-wing corporation is a “fiscally conservative approach to business,” what might be considered fiscally irresponsible?

How woke is Starbucks? As documented in Unherd, “Like so many companies, the coffee giant was swept up in the political maelstrom of 2020 and 2021. It pledged $100 million for businesses focused on “advancing racial equity”. It allowed employees to wear activist clothing and accessories to work, provided that the clothing supported the Black Lives Matter movement. In many Starbucks stores, June Pride Month celebrations went from discreet lapel pins to wall-covering shrines.”

So Tennessee is reimbursing Starbucks $30 million of the $100 million the company shelled out to “advance racial equity.” Some Tennessee politicians are not happy about this, including U.S. Rep. John Rose, a Republican candidate to replace (term-limited) Bill Lee as governor. He called the Starbucks incentive "corporate welfare" that is "beyond the pale." Marsha Blackburn is the overwhelming favorite to win this year’s Republican gubernatorial primary, but she has not yet commented on the Starbucks payout. I recommend that she gets on the right side of this issue quickly. If not, John Rose may gain some traction.

A ray of hope is that many Starbucks employees don’t want to leave the comfort of the asylum they call home.

“Lefty Starbucks office workers refuse to move from Seattle to new hub in deep-red Tennessee” [NY Post – 4/22/2026]

Starbucks office workers are reportedly balking at orders to relocate to the company’s new $100 million Nashville hub, with some left-leaning workers repulsed by the prospect of living and working in the capital of deep-red Tennessee.

The java giant has been struggling to persuade employees to move from Seattle — even after warning some they could lose their jobs if they refuse, Bloomberg News reported.

As I was typing this piece, I just noticed something significant that I had previously missed. Something stinks:

The Morning Report — 5/ 29/26

Good morning kids. Supposedly a "deal" of some sort is in the works or on the verge of being reached with the regime in Tehran to end hostilities. As I have stated repeatedly, I have the greatest respect and admiration for President Trump, but I cannot imagine any agreement that they would ever agree to that removes the hardline Islamic elements from power, even partially let alone completely. It is they who have terrorized and brutalized their own people and spilled rivers of blood all over the world in the cause of Islamic global conquest, quite a bit of it American, over the past 47 years thanks to the complicity/idiocy of Jimmy Carter in helping unleash the Mullahs on the world. And in that time allowing them to nearly develop a functioning nuclear weapon by stockpiling tons of enriched uranium and perfecting long range missiles that for now threaten the region but perhaps can soon reach much farther. Were it not for Israel's and America's military and covert operations to thwart all of that with Epic Fury and the IDF and ongoing Mossad's campaign
of liquidating Iranian scientists, an Iranian mushroom cloud might well have vaporized Tel Aviv, Dubai, Riyadh or Vatican City or even London or Washington DC by now.

There is no alternative than the absolute and unconditional surrender of the Mullahs. If not, then the aforementioned nightmare scenario might one day become a reality. Who could have ever imagined 9/11 until it happened? There is no doubt in my mind that had Bin Laden have nukes, NYC and DC would be a radioactive dead zone.

Speaking of "unconditional surrender," as evil as Islam and the mullahs are, there is an equally evil cancer that exists among us.

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) said that the proposed agreement with Iran is “a surrender document.” And we appear to be “negotiating America’s unconditional surrender to Iran.” . . . because there’s literally no other option. Unless he wants to take over the whole country, because that actually would achieve regime change, it would end their nuclear program, it would reopen the strait. But you’re talking about using 300,000 Americans for a country that’s twice the size and population of Iraq. I don’t think even Ranger Pete Hegseth wants that. So the only other option is to sit down at the table and actually have a negotiation. Let’s just be honest, though, he’s not only lost the war, he’s losing the negotiation as well.”. . But, short of taking over Iran, “there’s literally no other option.” . . . Later, Moulton said that Trump “has a hope and a prayer that he might get some semblance of the nuclear deal that Obama handed to him.”

This mealy-(semen-encusted) mouthed scumbag finally lets slip what he and the traitorous bastards of the Democrat/Left want: America defeated/humiliated/destroyed and Iran to actually get an atomic weapon which is what Obama and his cohorts were nearly successful in delivering. The JCPOA along with billons in palletized cash sent to Iran during his 8 year reign of error got them very close to achieving nuclear capability.

Here at home, if Iran can't destroy America as founded, Moulton and his cadres will continue to do their damndest as they have always done.

Police reportedly responded to a call alleging the sound of gunshots had been heard at Barrett’s home, according to the same audio, which was shared on X by freelance journalist Andrew Leyden. In the audio, the dispatcher indicates police units are responding to “the suspicious noise” at a residence that has “24-hour security coverage for a high-priority resident of the county.”

Chris Rabb, a Pennsylvania House candidate backed by the "Squad" and other far-left figures, once called for the death penalty for corporate CEOs, whom he likened to "gang leaders." His words mirror increasingly violent rhetoric from the left directed at business leaders. In a 2005 blog post, Rabb said executives "should fry," citing a report that 300 CEOs were paid salaries and bonuses totaling $12 billion.

They're gunning for us, LITERALLY...

But we're evil and so must be eradicated. On the flip side of that we have this complete debasement.

Cosplay Models Shock Internet by Selling “Feet Juice” at California Anime Festival

Anime conventions can get pretty wild, but when’s the last time you attended an event where cosplay models were selling actual “foot juice”, as in fruit juice from plastic buckets in which they had dipped their feet? Despite the product’s unconventional nature, the $10-15 price tag wasn’t enough to deter potential clients, and according to multiple reports, the foot juice sold out in less than an hour.

Photos and videos from Parkon 2026 show young girls in cosplay holding up signs with foot juice offers while having their naked feet dipped in juice, and some even offering to let customers drink the juice dripping directly from their wet feet.

Yup - it's real. Go ahead and check out the video at the link.

Judge Clears Way for Trump to Tighten Verification for Mail-In Votes; Scott Bessent Touts New IRS Rules to Identify Antifa's Funders; OMB Director Russ Vought Acts to Make Sure That Federal Grants Go to US Citizens Not Foreigners and Illegal Aliens

—Disinformation Expert Ace

A lot of #Winning.

Democrats actually opposed Trump's rules to tighten verification of mail-in votes by saying that if voter names were checked against lists of US citizens, Democrat voters would be barred from voting.

Yes. Yes they will.

That is the point. Your llegal alien hordes are not allowed to vote and they should be disqualified from voting.

But hey, you say this Never Ever Happens, so this should have no effect on Democrat vote totals.

Right?

The Democrats pretended they were worried about "inaccurate" citizenship lists but we all know they're terrified of accurate ones.

Besides, the judge ruled: Every single federal requirement is subject to some error in implementation but we don't rule them all unconstitutional, given that people have the right to appeal and have errors corrected.

Duh.

A federal judge on Thursday cleared the way for President Donald Trump to implement his executive order tightening mail-in voting, slapping down Democrats' arguments for now that federal efforts to police voter rolls with citizenship checks was illegal.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointed jurist, ruled that Democrats failed to show they have standing at present to challenge the order or have suffered any harm that would warrant a preliminary injunction.

You'll love this: He ruled the Democrats had no standing to challenge the rules. They could establish no "harm" to themselves.

Nichols rejected several of the Democrats' arguments that Trump's executive order could disenfranchise millions of voters, including that creating state-by-state citizenship lists to check voter rolls would somehow be harmful, even if they were inaccurate.

...

The judge also rejected the notion that the federal government sending information to the states about voters would somehow violate voters' privacy.

"Plaintiffs fail to demonstrate that such action--that is, the sharing of name, age, and residence information between and among government agencies, if already known to the federal government--would cause a harm sufficient to establish Article III standing," he ruled.

Bessent says the IRS will track donations to the terrorist group Antifa.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday highlighted changes to IRS reporting policy that would help the federal government identify the funding sources for Antifa.

The organization has faced considerable scrutiny in recent years amid its repeated civil disturbances and involvement in anti-law enforcement activities. Speaking from the White House, Bessent pointed to a change in policy that would require non-profits to identify their grant recipients.

The grant-subgrant system is set up to disguise Democrat money-laundering. Terrorists have members called "cleanskins" -- terrorists who have no known criminal record or association with terrorists. These "clean skins" are used to infiltrate organizations and pull levers in favor of terrorists.

(Note a "cleanskin" can also refer to an undercover cop who has no publicly-known association with cops, so he can be infiltrated into a criminal group.)

Likewise, Democrats have "cleanskin" NGOs that they can pour US taxpayer money into. And then these "clean" NGOs donate to dirty NGOs and straight up terrorist organizations -- or Chinese covid labs adding furin cleavage sites to viruses.

The Grantee/Subgrantee system is designed precisely so that Democrats can divert taxpayer money to illegal/antiamerican/pure Democrat pillager groups. They money is given to the "clean skin" NGOs, who then immediately send the money off to where it was always intended to go, the "dirty skin" groups.

Toxic Incompetent Radical Leftwing Propagandists Are Finally S-Canned at 60 Minutes, and the Left is (You'll Never Guess!) Hysterical

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze

2h

60 Minutes was genocided.

Lunatic Trash-Karen Sharyl Alfonsi threw her last hissy-fit over Bari Weiss holding up her hit-piece about CECOT to get comment from the object of her hit-piece -- the Trump Administration, of course -- and then publicly complained about her employers. (And probably did some leaking, but we'll just have to guess about that.)

One of her previous acts of Democrat Party Service was attacking Ron DeSantis for arranging a deal for the Magic Vaccine, which the media claimed was absolutely necessary for the survival of the species, to be made available through the large market chain Publix.

She asserted that DeSantis had made this deal in exchange for a $100,000 donation -- and would not take Democrats' word for it that they pitched and negotiated this deal with Publix themselves.

And ergo, the $100,000 donation was irrelevant.

Meanwhile, this ugly crone is claiming she was fired for her "honest" journalism.

Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew

3h

"Honest" -- like in her dishonest piece about Ron DeSantis and the Publix Supermarket chain, linking Publix being given a COVID vaccine contract in exchange for a $100,000 contribution to DeSantis?

Deceptive Editing: Alfonsi confronted Gov. about the Publix deal, but 60 Minutes edited his response by omitting the portion of his answer explaining that CVS and Walgreens were tied up administering vaccines in long-term care facilities at the time, and that Publix was simply the first pharmacy to volunteer and prove it was ready for the larger roll-out needed.

Florida's emergency management director -- a Democrat -- publicly stated that the decision to use Publix was made by his office, not the Governor, and that undermined entirely the conspiracy narrative that was the foundation of the 60 Minutes story.

Other Democrats in Florida and Publix pushed back against the story.

But that didn't slow Alfonsi or 60 Minutes down since De Santis was, at that time, considered to be the frontrunner for the GOP POTUS nomination in 2024.

"In a Sunday night tweet directed at "60 Minutes," Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Jared Moskowitz wrote, "I said this before and I'll say it again. [Publix] was recommended by [Florida Division of Emergency Management] and [Florida Department of Public Health]. Period! Full stop!"

"No one from the Governors office suggested Publix," Moskowitz added. "It's just absolute malarkey."

Is it that kind of "honest" journalism you are referring to??

A Democrat mayor of Palm Beach alled the story "intentionally false" as well, saying this wasn't just "bad information," it was a deliberate, calculated lie:

But she had a potential Republican presidential candidate to take down for her Democrat masters, and went forward with the false, defamatory propaganda anyway.

And for some reason, Bari Weiss had doubts about her credibility, honesty, and professionalism!

Here's her meltdown over being fired -- or, actually, these people aren't employees, so they're not fired.

Their contracts are just allowed to blissfully expire without renewal.

Dylan Byers @DylanByers

May 27

NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:

"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.

Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.

In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and "restructuring" to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.

Well, they're resorting to euphemisms because they consider in unprofessional to just tell the truth about you: You're a batshit crazy partisan who is too unattractive and probably has too checkered a past to go directly into Democrat politics so you work from the shadows in the media.

How's that? Is that better than the euphemism?

Weiss also let go of a 60 Minutes producer, and replaced him with Nick Bilton.

The media are screaming that he has no prior television journalistic experience even though he's been an investigative journalist at the NYT and Vanity Fair.

And they're screaming for simple turf-protection reasons: They have a guild and they don't want non-guild-members replacing them so that they lose their phoney-baloney jobs.

I've got five words for you: Learn to fucking code, bitches.

Muslim Man Shouts Allahu Akbar as He Stabs Three Citizens In Switzerland; a Leftist SWATs Amy Coney Barrett to Get Cops to Kill Her; a Man Threatens to Kill Erika Kirk and Blow Up Every TPUSA Event

And then things will get interesting for the left.

And you should never wish to live in interesting times.

A leftist attempted to get cops to execute Amy Coney Barrett by calling in a fake report of a shooting at the residence, which of course causes cops to come armed and ready to kill any possible "attacker" on-scene.

Someone tried to get Amy Coney Barrett, her kids and husband killed last night. That's what swatting really is: Attempted murder. Cops come in guns blazing expecting a shootout. People who initiate these should go to prison for life. Thankfully, the cops talked with her security first and prevented a potential tragedy. The left has embraced evil.

Formerly Beloved British Series "Doctor Who" Is Now So Toxically Woke and Unpopular That No Actors Are Willing to Step Into the Role
Formerly Beloved British Car Brand Jaguar Loses 99.4% Of Its Profit Year-Over-Year

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Who can say why. It's all a mystery.

The role has been cursed by wokeness, and now no actors want to play Doctor Who, because they don't want to be associated with the "baggage" of the previous seasons of woke poison.

Although the show is currently on a long unplanned hiatus, the BBC had planned a "Christmas" special-- which became a New Years Special during its woke years because the show didn't want to acknowledge Christmas*. But even the "Christmas" special is in doubt because they just can't find an actor to play Doctor Who.

This is probably due to the fact that they are determined to do more woke gender- and race-bending stunt casting but the potential DEI Doctors don't want to jump into this garbage swamp at any price.

Everything woke turns to shit:

The Doctor Who Christmas special could be exterminated as the BBC is allegedly unable to find a new lead star.

The show is in a state of flux after ending its latest series in May 2025 with the sudden departure of Ncuti Gatwa as the Time Lord.

The ungrateful gay immigrant flounced when he was asked to be a jury panelist for their boradcast of Eurovision. The rumor that went around was that she refused because Israel was a contestant. The "official" reasons for the sudden withdraw all seem like bullshit -- too tired! his schedule is so hectic! -- and they keep changing. Soon after he was announced to no longer be Doctor Who. Which suggests the BBC was sick of him after his horrible ratings. People with horrible ratings don't get to act like entitled divas for long.

Former companion Billie Piper appeared to replace Gatwa as the show's new Doctor, when the character underwent a regeneration at the end of the episode.

Piper's inclusion was a "very last-minute" decision, according to the star, and came after a sharp decline in viewership ratings. The BBC opted to put the show on hiatus for the remainder of 2025, meaning there was no festive special, but showrunner Russell T Davies wrote an episode, starring Piper, that was due to be released this December.

However, it's been reported that the special might be scrapped as bosses are struggling to find anyone to take on the permanent role of the 16th Doctor, as Piper's appearance will be for one episode only. Instead, the BBC would forge ahead with a new series airing Easter 2027.

"With less than seven months to go, [the special] looks like it's hanging in the balance," a source told The Sun.

"The problem is that they have found it difficult to find anyone who'll take on the part of the 16th Time Lord, partly because it now feels like a role that comes with all the baggage of the most recent series.

The source added: "There are fears that even if they do manage to pull something together, it is going to be a poor cousin to previous Christmas specials which have always been adored by fans." The BBC declined to comment.

Have they?

...

"Rest assured, Doctor Who is going nowhere," Phillips said at the Edinburgh TV Festival, with Lindsay Salt, the BBC's director of drama, saying they were "committed" to bringing the show back.

What an unfortunate and revealing way to phrase that.

Phillips addressed a potential end to the BBC's "great" production partnership with Disney+, adding: "Going forward, with or without Disney, Doctor Who will still be on the BBC. The Tardis is going nowhere."

LOL. It's like she's subconsciously trying to admit the truth.

Gatwa, 32, said he left the programme because "it's a role that demands a lot of you, physically and emotionally and mentally".

And Judaically.

Speaking of woke disasters:

Remember Jaguar's aggressive repositioning from a car for wealthy men looking for a little speed and style to a transgender toaster for mentally-ill folx on welfare?

Their profits dropped, and this is not a joke, 99.4%.

The Guardian claims it's all due to Trump's tariffs (which are now a very reasonable 10%), a cyberattack, and generally poor conditions in the auto industry.

It has nothing to do with deciding that rich men were no longer the target clientele but rather transgender mutants living in public housing.

Jaguar Land Rover annual profit falls 99% after US tariffs and cyber-attack take toll

Britain's largest carmaker says sales also hit by competition in China as it publishes financial results

by Jasper Jolly

Jaguar Land Rover's annual profits have slumped by more than 99% as it counted the cost of US tariffs and a cyber-attack that disrupted its factories for months.

Britain's largest carmaker made only 14m pounds in profit before tax and exceptional items in the year to March, down from 2.5bn pounds the year before, according to financial results published on Thursday.

The manufacturer, which employs 33,000 people in the UK, suffered a series of blows as Donald Trump's automotive industry tariffs caused turmoil in its important export market.

That was followed by a damaging cyber-attack on the last day of August that forced the company to shut down most of its systems and factories for weeks, with disruption rippling on through the autumn.

The tariffs, which Trump raised to 25% before agreeing a deal for 10% for the UK, hit US demand for JLR's luxury cars, before supply of products was halted by the attack. As a result, revenues fell to 22.9bn pounds, down by more than a fifth compared with the previous 12 months.

Did anything happen to the brand that might have caused demand to fall, I wonder?

JLR also said sales were hit by competition in China, where a huge number of carmakers are introducing new products.

JLR was not alone in struggling with tough conditions within the automotive industry. The Japanese manufacturer Honda on Thursday reported its first annual loss in 70 years as a listed company.

Honda was forced to write off 1.6tn yen (7.4bn pounds) in investments in electric cars after Trump removed subsidies for battery vehicles, pushing it to a loss of 423bn yen.

PB Balaji, who took over as chief executive of JLR only a few weeks after the hack, said: "JLR faced a challenging year with revenue and profit affected by multiple headwinds, including a pause in production following the cyber incident."

However, he said the company "ended well" and had "come back resiliently".

Uh-huh. Your anus is very resilient but there's just so much pounding it can take.

No mention of this:

Jaguar's 'Copy Nothing' advert was unfiltered pure woke slop. https://t.co/5QdSFgoccb pic.twitter.com/SqMJmAOWMv

— Rebel Scum (@hejwych) May 25, 2026

It's similar to what doomed Doctor Who -- a bunch of gays and women in the marketing department decided that Men Should Not Have Things Men Like and remade the dependable old British brands into Stuff for Gurlz Gays and Gender-Fluids.

It's also similar in that those gender-free space mutants look like Ncuti Gatwa's version of Doctor Who:

I'm sure it's all a coincidence, though.

Leftwing brokebrained woke women continue to be more passionate fans of male homosexuals than male homosexuals themselves, and the "Modern Audience" continues to not exist.

Yet the billions-losing incompetents pushing this same failed idea year after year still have their phoney-baloney jobs, Because DEI.

DEI doesn't care about results. DEI is your church now.

*TBH, the move away from a Christmas special to a New Years special could have worked. The Doctor Who "Christmas" episodes of course had nothing to do about Christ or Christianity, and just were about corporate Christmas decorations and theming. Like an episode where London is attacked by alien space ships that look like Christmas stars, or when London is attacked by plastic Santa Claus statues, or when Doctor Who meets the literal Santa Clause. (Well it's some kind of dream bullshit.)

After six of these dopey Christmas Parody episodes, I stopped watching them, even when I was still watching Doctor Who. I never saw the Narnia parody one, for example. I realized that all "Christmas" episodes they would be absurd garbage about killer reindeer robots from space or interdimensional strangle-serpents that looked like silver garland.

But the fact that they made this change during Peak Wokeness made everyone suspect that they were just hostile to Christianity and would rather do episodes about Eid instead.

Fidel Castro's Daughter Doesn't Deny That Blackface-Wearing Gay Canadian Justin Trudeau Might Be Her Bastard Half-Brother

—Disinformation Expert Ace

He looks like Castro, and he's a stone-cold authoritarian communist bitch. Almost as if he was trying to impress the man he knew to be his father.

His mother was said to be enamored of Fidel Castro and would visit the country a lot. Whether her cuck husband Pierre Trudeau approved or objected impotently, we don't know.

Apparently this rumor has been "debunked." Allegedly Trudeau's mother did not meet Fidel Castro until 1976 -- allegedly -- and Castreau was born in 1971.

So this could just be a bunch of hooey.

But Castro's own daughter seems to accept the possibility of the "conspiracy theory" being true.

Alina Fernandez, the exiled daughter of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, was pressed on Tuesday night over claims that former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau is her "half brother," and did little to put the long-running conspiracy theory to rest.

The claim, mentioned by President Donald Trump in his 2024 Save America book and pushed by online believers, alleges that Castro is Trudeau's real father, not Pierre Trudeau.

...

"For years we've heard rumors that Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada , could be your half brother. What do you think about it?" she said.

Fernandez smiled and apparently unwilling to give up any family lore, she replied: "The only thing I can say is that his mother used to visit the country very often."

"Well that may be a tell then," the host followed. "I guess that's a half answer."

"Yes," her guest responded.

"Do you plan to call him and maybe find out?" Pavlich pressed.

"No, no," Fernandez said. "If he wants he's welcome but I won't, I won't. I think he keeps that to himself and you have to respect that."

Gavin Newsom: The State Will Tax the Enemies of the Democrat Party at a 100% Rate to Save Democracy

—Disinformation Expert Ace

Seizing the estates of political enemies. Sounds very democracy-savey.

He says they will change California law to seize 100% of recompense paid to Californians from the weaponization fund for Biden Regime abuses.

Well, I'll tell you, I've been sick of liberal state governments paying out jackpot awards to Antifa and BLM "protesters" who beat cops and get arrested in return. The Democrat Party is using taxpayer funds to pay its terrorist street militias to beat up cops and menace citizens.

So it's time for the federal government to impose a 100% tax on payouts to "protesters," especially those of Antifa, BLM, the John Brown Rifle Club, etc.

Tit for tat. If you want to go full Civil War -- We're your huckleberry. You'd be a daisy if you'd oblige us.

DOJ Now Investigating Obvious Perjurer For, Get This, Obvous Perjury

—Disinformation Expert Ace

My first reaction to hearing about the DOJ investigating the perjurious elderly lunatic whore was negative. I didn't like the "optics" of the DOJ investigating Trump's enemies.

But then I remembered the context: The Democrats turned the entire prosecutorial network, state and federal, into a machine for prosecuting Trump and his allies and even the lawyers defending Trump and his allies from their prosecutions.

Let me posit: It would be criminal to not use the prosecutorial resources of the country to prosecute Democrats and their lunatic fabulists.

We have been told many times that "No one is above the law."

And that includes Democrats, who are actually criminals. The only reason we weren't routinely arresting and jailing Democrats was the prudential consideration that jailing the political opposition, even when they were criminals in league with foreign powers and poisonous anti-American terrorist groups, was that prosecuting your political opponents, even when warranted, would kick off a cycle of each party attempting to jail each other each time the White House changed hands.

But they already began this cycle. And they've already announced their criminal intention to prosecute everyone associated with Trump, and possibly just his voters and supporters, the moment they can steal another election.

Given these facts, we have no choice but to adapt to the new poisonous reality the Democrats have created and use the machinery of political prosecutions against them.

From David Strom, although she clearly lied about the entire sham story -- and ripped it off from an episode of Law & Order: SVU her mentally-demented mind remembered -- she's being specifically investigated for lying about being paid to bring charges against Trump.

She straight-up lied about her expenses being paid by deranged communist billionaire Reid Hoffman, who desperately needs some prosecutorial resources devoted to him as well.

The Morning Rant

I am agnostic on the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As Sefton and I discussed on our recent podcast, AI can be useful, but it certainly isn't ready for prime time, and it can also be overbearing and immensely irritating.

That's because the hysteria in corporate America about inserting AI into absolutely everything has become ridiculous. Instead of rolling it out into their businesses as needs and opportunities arise, many companies are shoehorning it into every part of their operations, including most annoyingly, customer service. Sending an email to a company with a question or issue about a product or service shouldn't become an exercise in futility as one wades thorough the often nonsensical responses of an AI system. AI phone systems are particularly annoying, especially since its ability to provide meaningful assistance is in its infancy. Does one really have to wade through three minutes of perky AI voices just to speak to a human, or even worse, leave a message because "Call volume is higher than average?"

I am not a luddite...AI absolutely has its uses, and is becoming a powerful tool, in particular in technical fields where the prompts are tailored, and the databases are specified. And it can be a superb web search engine...sifting through the millions of pages of nonsense to get useful information.

But it has become so pervasive that I find myself reflexively rejecting its presence...disabling it whenever I can, or simply moving on to other, more human-friendly companies and websites that don't shove AI in my face.

DuckDuckGo Installs Surge 30% as Consumers Reject Google 'Force-Feeding' AI with Search Engine

DuckDuckGo, which positions itself as a privacy-focused alternative to Google, has experienced a significant increase in user adoption following the search giant’s announcement of major changes to its search platform that heavily incorporate AI.

TechCrunch reports that DuckDuckGo claims that U.S. app installs increased by an average of 18.1 percent week-over-week during the period from May 20 to May 25, compared to the previous week of May 13 to May 18. The growth was sustained for six consecutive days and reached a peak of 30.5 percent on May 25. On iOS devices specifically, the rate of installation was even more dramatic, with week-over-week growth averaging 33 percent and peaking at 69.9 percent.

The surge in interest comes in direct response to Google’s announcement at its annual I/O developer conference that AI would take over its search engine, as previously reported by Breitbart News:

My guess is that AI will find its niche and become an indispensable tool for certain industries and certain people (it already is for many!), but it will be nothing more than an occasionally useful tool for most people.

Will it take over the world? Probably not. The last time I checked, AI couldn't repair an air conditioner or fix the plumbing or frame a house. It can make fun videos though!

The Morning Report — 5/ 28/26

—J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. As most or all of you know, I was born and raised in New York City and spent the better part of my life there. Even the bad old times of the 70s and 80s were Halcyon days compared to today with what has happened and what is yet to happen thanks to what my former neighbors and sadly even some old friends have done by voting for their own destruction:

Mamdani announced that he was going to seize rental properties from landlords who have not maintained them properly, and hand over ownership not to the city government, but to supposedly impartial players and fair dealers such as “community land trusts” and “non-profits.” New York City Council member Vickie Paladino, one of Mamdani’s most vociferous and insightful critics, explains: “The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point. The idea here is to build up Zohran’s DSA-connected nonprofits with a multibillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets — New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get. Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario.”

...Mamdani, however, appears to be both a convinced Marxist and a devout Muslim. There is no real contradiction here; certainly Karl Marx himself made atheism a cornerstone of his secular religion, but Communism has always found a ready partner in Islam. This is because they have a deep kinship: both are authoritarian, totalitarian systems that impose draconian punishments for dissidents. Both deny the freedom of speech and other indispensable elements of a free society.

Also, once his Marxist comrades control New York City’s housing market, who will get the housing? Not political undesirables, i.e., patriots. Instead, Muslim migrants, including an unknowable number of criminals and jihadis, and others who will help the leftist/Islamic alliance stay in power, will receive preferment.

Sadly I still have a number of friends, and two who are so insufferably liberal that I consider them now merely acquaintances. They live in a very expensive upper west side Co-op and I hate to wish it upon them but I do hope they get what they vote for good and hard. Maybe then they'll wake up, but considering they voted for Dinkins and DeBolshevik while denigrating anything and everything even slightly to the right of even Ed Koch, well so be it. And now I'm picturing the scene from Dr. Zhivago where the Bolshvik apparatchiks are confiscating the wealthy Ralph Richardson's home and moving scores of bedraggled poor people in, "In the name of the people." of course he protests that "He is one of the people," and is quickly silenced by Omar Sharif before Tom Courtenay can drag the old fool out and shoot him as a counter-revolutionary.

All that said, it likely won't be long before one or all of President Trump's properties will be condemned, and then seized and handed over to Mamdani's commie cronies in the name of social justice, I assume at or not long after 12:01:00 on 1/21/29, if Mamdani is still mayor or one of his cronies succeeds him.

On a not unrelated note, just north of the border in Canada, also well on the way to Islamo/Communist control, we had this disturbing story...

"Canadian Man Allegedly Put To Death After Fast Food Parking Lot Bowel Assessment"
Yes, you read that right gentle reader...

A doctor in Ontario, Canada, allegedly evaluated a man for assisted death outside a Tim Hortons and, months later, drove him to the building where he died.

The patient was 45-year-old Thomas Dillon, who lived with Crohn’s disease along with mental illness and addiction, according to the National Post, citing The Globe and Mail, the Canadian newspaper that first reported the case and identified Dillon as the subject of one complaint. A coroner’s review of an anonymized 2024 case the reporting connects to Dillon described a man who battled addiction, struggled to keep a job, found relationships difficult and leaned on family for housing and money. Dr. James MacLean and a second clinician allegedly approved Dillon for assisted death under Track 2, a category for people whose deaths are not near but who endure intolerable suffering from a serious, untreatable condition. (RELATED: Canada Reportedly Set To Surpass 100,000 Assisted Suicides) MacLean allegedly ran the eligibility check outside the coffee shop on June 27, 2023, and traded dozens of texts with Dillon as they planned the death, according to The Globe and Mail. On Jan. 29, 2024, the two met again at the restaurant, and MacLean drove him to an industrial site where the dead are prepared for funeral homes. Dillon’s family told the outlet his wish to die came from mental illness, not the bowel disease. In a separate complaint, MacLean allegedly failed to provide one of three required drugs during an assisted death, the National Post reported. After he declared the patient dead and left the residence, the man started breathing again on his own. MacLean came back and finished the procedure, according to the Globe and Mail. A reviewer determined MacLean fell short of professional standards in five of 20 files examined, the National Post reported. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) issued a verbal caution and ordered six months of clinical supervision, chart audits and remedial training. He keeps his license and can still perform assisted deaths.

It won't be long before Crohn's disease is joined by Islamophobia and "hate speech" as a justification for doctors to euthanize people the state deems as a threat to themselves and to THE PEOPLE

So, the party of "Looters and Shooters" as Ace labeled them. Well, there's looting and shooting and then there's the double dose of nightmare fuel highlighted above.

Have a good day.
